First Beef Stew in Slow Cooker

It's funny. I didn't know that the slow cooker will take a longer time to cook than the usual stoves.

I finally was educated when two friends came and tasted the three-hour slow-cooked soup. It was as plain as could be. Then, they said that they usually let the pot work for 6 - 8 hours!

The next day, I met a student and shared with her my experience with slow cooker. She told me her family usually use the pot only for meat dishes. That inspired me.

After surfing many sites for beef stew, I decided to shop at Cold Storage and got these ingredients:

$4.20 Russel potato 2.27kg
$13.50 Winemaker Marlot red wine 750 ml
$2.20 red onion
$1.90 peeled baby carrot
$3.45 campbell's beef stock
$12.75 beef cube (0.328 X 38.90/ kg)
$3.42 red capsicum (2)

I sliced and chopped the onion, sliced the potato, put a little salt on each beef cube, sliced the capsicum and threw in the carrot as they are. Half a bottle of red wine and 250ml of beef stock is poured in. I added some shitake mushroom which were left after the dinner two nights ago.

Now, lets hope for the best when I wake up tomorrow.
